KIR



Kir image

A classic kir is made with aligoté wine and crème de cassis (black currant liqueur), both of which come from the Burgundy region of France. Once you have the classic down (a glass of white wine with just a hint of cassis), variations abound. Substitute sparkling wine for the aligoté, and it becomes a kir royale. Add red wine, and it's a Bourgogne. If you're over wine entirely, dry hard cider (and a splash of Calvados, if you're feeling extra) turns the drink into a kir Normand, its name nodding to Normandy. Whatever base you choose, kirs easily veer saccharine when weighed down with a hefty pour of crème de cassis. Exercise restraint with the potent liqueur - aim for a more dusty rose hue than magenta - but feel free to drink in rapid succession.

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 4h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 pounds brisket of beef, well trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups chopped onions
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 pound fresh mushrooms, trimmed and cleaned
4 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups Beaujolais wine
1 cup beef stock or chicken stock
1 bay leaf
2 whole cloves
2 whole allspice

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the meat in one layer. Add the cubed beef and cook over medium heat, stirring until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the pieces of meat to a heavy cast-iron kettle, add the onions, garlic, mushrooms and thyme. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes. Add the flour. Blend well and stir for 1 minute. Add the wine, beef or chicken stock, bay leaf, cloves and allspice. Blend well and bring to a simmer. Cook, covered, over low heat for 3 1/2 hours to 4 hours, or until the meat is tender. Remove bay leaf. Serve with mashed potatoes, noodles or rice.
